Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Time averaged change from baseline in a standard 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS).

The time-averaged mean of all patient pain scores over each study period.

Time frame: 7 days

Secondary Outcomes

Adverse events, Serious adverse events, and study discontinuation

Collection of Adverse events, Serious adverse events, and study discontinuation over each study period.

Time frame: 8 days

Patient global impression of change scale (PGIC) from baseline to end of study period.

This measure is a single-item rating by participants of their improvement with treatment on a 7-point scale that ranges from "very much improved" to "very much worse" with a mid-point of "no-change".

Time frame: 8 days

Change in the global rating of disease for 3VM1001 Cream and placebo from baseline to the end of study.

Change in the global rating of disease for 3VM1001 Cream and placebo from baseline to day 8 measured on a 5-point Likert scale, with numerical values recorded by the subjects.

Time frame: 8 days

Patient Global Impression of change from baseline in Osteoarthritis (OA) pain..

Subjects will rate their overall satisfaction from baseline (Day 0) to the end of study using a 6-point categorical sale from "very much worse"(0) to "very satisfied" (6).

Time frame: From screening Day 0 to the end of study (8 days)

Change in Patient Global Assessment of Treatment Satisfaction from baseline to end of study.

Subjects will rate their overall satisfaction with study treatment using a 5-point categorical sccale from "dissatisfied" (0) to "very satisfied" (4)
